Historical Maps: 2017 and 2021
December 2017 — the pre-pandemic baseline
The 2017 map captured a Europe where the simple average gasoline price sat around $1.42 per liter ($5.38 per gallon) — less than half of where the EU-27 average stands today. The dispersion across the continent was already wide. Norway ($1.86/L) and Italy ($1.84/L) topped the table, both driven by some of the highest excise + VAT loadings in Europe. The Netherlands, Sweden and Greece filled out the rest of the expensive cluster, all over $1.65 per liter.
At the cheap end, Belarus ($0.64/L), Russia ($0.70/L) and Kazakhstan ($0.63/L) sold gasoline at a third of Norwegian prices — subsidised, oil-producing, and outside the EU’s tax-and-tariff architecture. Inside the EU, the eastern flank (Poland, Romania, Bulgaria) sat between $1.10 and $1.25, reflecting lower excise duties and lighter VAT regimes than their western neighbours.
March 2021 — after the pandemic shock
Three years later the picture shifted but the geography stayed familiar. The EU average climbed to €1.36 per liter as economies reopened and Brent crude recovered from its April 2020 trough. The Netherlands (€1.72) and Greece (€1.57) led the expensive end, with Italy, Finland and Sweden close behind. The eastern budget tier held: Bulgaria (€0.95), Poland (€1.09) and Romania (€1.11) remained the cheapest forecourts in the bloc.
By 2021 a structural pattern had become unmistakable. The north-western EU — high excise, high VAT, high household income — ran ~50% above the eastern flank. The Mediterranean middle (Spain, Portugal, Italy) sat above the eastern band but below the north, balancing higher tourist-season demand against lower disposable income.
2017 to today — what changed
Three structural forces explain the rise from the 2017 baseline:
- Excise + VAT increases. Several EU members tightened fuel taxation in the late 2010s to fund green-transition budgets. The Netherlands raised excise on petrol by ~€0.10/L between 2018 and 2024; Germany’s CO2 levy on transport fuels began in 2021 and ratcheted annually.
- The Russian-supply shock. Sanctions following the February 2022 invasion of Ukraine removed Russian crude and refined-product imports from western European refining baselines, forcing a re-routing through Middle Eastern and US Gulf Coast suppliers at higher delivered cost.
- EUR weakness against the dollar. Oil is priced in USD; a weaker euro means more euros per barrel even when the dollar price stays flat. The EUR/USD rate has spent most of 2022–2026 in a range that adds 8–15 % to euro-denominated pump prices versus the 2017–2019 baseline.
The eastern–western spread has actually widened since 2017. Where Norway used to be roughly 3× the price of Belarus, the modern Netherlands-to-Malta spread runs about $4.50/gallon — a wider absolute gap, narrower in percentage terms, but more visible to an American comparing US prices to Europe.
